Thermo Fisher Scientific launches rapid environmental PCR testing solution
Rapid testing produces air sample results in 30 minutes
Rapid testing produces air sample results in 30 minutes
Unlike “Fast PCR” platforms - which uses LAMP/Isothermal technology and not gold standard RT-PCR - CoviSwift has high accuracy and sensitivity and is suitable for airports and hospitals
Results from the BiologyWorks k(now) molecular test were 99.1% in overall percent agreement with the results of the RT-PCR lab tests
In-house wet testing with live Omicron virus demonstrated that the Antigen test detects the Omicron variant with comparable sensitivity to other variants
The QuickVue antigen tests are able to detect the live Omicron variant with similar performance as with other variants
Rapid antigen testing provides results in just 15 minutes and the information can help reduce the risk of Covid-19 exposure
The Covid-19 At-Home Test uses a simple nasal swab sample to enable individuals to self-test at home and receive accurate, reliable and quick results in as few as 20 minutes for SARS-CoV-2 and all known variants of concern, including Omicron
Only antibody authorised in the US for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19
Roche subsidiary TIB Molbiol rapidly developed additional testing options to differentiate mutations in the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant, as they continue to offer new and accurate detection solutions
The combination rapid antigen test quickly differentiates between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses A and B infections, with results ready in less than 30 minutes, allowing informed decisions on patient and pandemic management decisions
